Focusing in the main on West Side story, Franco Zeffirellis' 1968 'flower child' version, and Baz Luhrmann's iconic film, this book offers unique insight into the adaptation process by tracing the ways in which the play's complex textual origins have led filmmakers to approach it from often unexpected angles, ranging from parodies to tragedies of genocidal proportions, as Shakespeare in Love and Deepa Mehta's controversial 2005 film Water, retrospectively demonstrate. Providing a comprehensive analysis of the production and reception of screen adaptations of Romeo and Juliet across time, place, culture, and medium, this book is an indispensible companion for students, film historians, and curious admirers of the world's greatest love story.
